The Path Projects Killam PX running pant gives you a 4 way stretch pant that perfect for Fall or Spring. With 5 zipped pockets ( 2 of which are HUGE) and zips at the ankles you have more than enough carrying options from a few hours out on the trail to a complete Ultra. With a contoured fit down to the ankle and ankle zips they are also easy to get on and off on days with changeable weather.

In Depth Review

I recently reviewed the Path projects shorts and was hugely impressed with the amount of pockets on their clothing.

Material

The pants have a 4 way stretch fabric called Toray which is breathable and has a DWR finish to make water from light showers bead and roll of. It also means these pants dry quickly when washed or if they get wet. The easiest way to describe how the fabric feels is to imagine that you took a pair of comfortable stretchy running shorts and simply extended them into pants.

Fit

The pants are true to size waist and length wise and have an additional draw string round the waist if you want a more secure fit when running. They also contour down to quite close fitting from the calf to the ankle to prevent too much fabric from flapping around when running. The ankles also have generous zips which make taking off or putting on these pants easy when weather conditions change throughout the day.

Pocketyness

The Killam pants have 5 zipped pockets. There is a large rear zipped pocket in the middle for your smartphone and two smaller zipped pockets for snacks or earbuds/ headlamp. Round the front there are two huge and deep zipped pockets that I managed to fit a water bottle and bear spray in when I was out testing the pants. There is also a 6th hidden key pouch inside them near the waistband.

Color Options

There are three color options – Grey, black and blue.

Verdict

The Path Projects Killam PX running pant gives you a 4 way stretch pant that perfect for Fall or Spring. With 5 zipped pockets ( 2 of which are HUGE) and zips at the ankles you have more than enough carrying options from a few hours out on the trail to a complete Ultra. With a contoured fit down to the ankle and ankle zips they are also easy to get on and off on days with changeable weather.

About Path Projects.

In 2002, a friend challenged me to run the San Francisco half marathon. I’d never tackled more than three miles but needed a challenge so I started training. I quickly realized being in good shape didn’t equal a quick jump to 13 miles.

It took me a year to build up my shins and learn how to run without destroying myself. But in the trial by fire, I found that special place where your body takes over and the mind shuts off. Where you feel like you can run forever and when you’re done, you’re cleansed.

That became my happy addiction.

“Then, in 2007, I burned out on races and pavement and discovered the trail.”

I threw myself into challenging half marathons, trying to run them faster. I squeezed in runs whenever I traveled for work. At this point in my life, I was a father, husband and entrepreneur — running became my stress relief, my escape route.

“A truly functional pair of shorts simply didn’t exist.”

I’d always found running gear I liked but the one thing I couldn’t find was a great pair of shorts. A truly functional pair of shorts simply didn’t exist.

“Now I could design and build technically advanced garments with modern minimalist styling. Seek out the finest materials and never cut a single corner.”

I’d spent 20 years in the apparel and footwear world. I had a pretty clear understanding of fabrics and what was possible so I started designing in my head. Then there was the ugliness factor. For some reason running was stuck in an 80’s time warp with crazy colors and dated styling. Shoes companies were doing apparel just to fill out the product line.

I figured I could turn out a far superior product but I’d get crushed by those multi-billion dollar giants who dominated the market. Then around 2013 the retail world flipped upside down. Cool and authentic new brands decided to skip the traditional brick and mortar and went big time on the web.

That was the last piece of the puzzle: Now I could design and build technically advanced garments with modern minimalist styling. Seek out the finest materials and never cut a single corner. By going straight to other passionate runners, I’d eliminate the mark up and bring them superior running gear at a fantastic price.

In 2015 PATH projects burst out the door, running hard. It took almost two years of searching for the most innovative fabrics, manufacturing partners and testing scenarios but the results were better then I’d ever imagined.
